Bill100 Champion Author Grand Rapids Posts:3,523 Points:197,225 Joined:Jan 2010	Message Posted: May 23, 2010 7:48:23 AM Ignore Bill100 Report Abuse You could follow Speedway's example. They now let you redeem points toward a sweepstakes prize. I realize that is exactly what you are doing now, but take it a step further. Let people redeem points for the chance to earn more points, say 50,000 pts. These points, if won, could be used to purchase more sweepstakes entries for the gift card (or for additional sweepstakes entries for more points).

jpgredwine Champion Author Hartford Posts:2,106 Points:173,040 Joined:Dec 2009	Message Posted: Apr 2, 2010 1:25:41 AM Ignore jpgredwine Report Abuse How about a check that gets sent to the winner as * $ CASH $ * .for $250. I know a lot of folks are asking for free gas cards (I've never had one so I really do not know how they operate), but if they operate in the same method as cash AND you can get the "cash" price when your purchasing gas, then the gas cards are ok in my opinion. If the gas cards operate like a credit card and you can only get gas at the "credit" price offered, then I'd strictly prefer cash. However, aside from my feelings on the above I think it would be a nicer mixup if a few GPS devices were tossed in perhaps once every month. OR Is there a possibility of a winner choosing his or her prize of cash, gas card, gps device, or maybe even an Amazon gift card ?

The winner can then use the money they save on gas to buy a gps, ipod or what ever they want. Maybe they could even save it or pay down other debt???
Busy1 Rookie Author Minnesota Posts:63 Points:258,165 Joined:Sep 2005	Message Posted: Feb 16, 2010 1:59:28 PM Ignore Busy1 Report Abuse keep the gas cards. An occasional GPS device would be nice to help find and address to get to a gas station. We are posting prices to find the best gas price so free gas cards to major gas stations should be the give away or an occasional GPS to help find the shortest way to your destination to save money on gas. Great site, look forward to the new home page.

me2Ky09 Rookie Author Kentucky Posts:62 Points:8,035 Joined:Oct 2009	Message Posted: Nov 17, 2009 1:44:52 PM Ignore me2Ky09 Report Abuse I have a GPS, but for those who do not it would be a nice option, as it does save on gas. I would prefer the prize to be optionable, gas card OR this or that prize. I also think that if this sight is about saving money in gas the prize should be in the form of a gas card not cash ( the idea being to save on using gas or money being spent on gas).

Why should a website promoting gas price savings give cash cards so people can buy food? Even if that's what's needed. Wouldn't something "automotive", more specifically, fuel savings related, be more appropriate? Otherwise you could just as easily say, "Which would you rather receive as a weekly prize: A Halloween costume (regardless of the month of the year), a slab of bacon, or post card pictures of either Paris or Honolulu? That would have just as much relevancy to the website's purpose. Or am I missing the objective of the prize and participation in the give away?
